Procedurally Generated Volcanic Island

For my second graphics assignment I had to make use of procedural generation techniques to create a scene. I decided that it would base mine around a volcanic Island , complete with water simulation and a particle generator.


The generator I created can produced some quite nice scenes. It could probably be useful in creating a Caribbean type environment populated with islands.

The smoke particles that are generated also get effected by the environment wind and the height of that particle. This provides a nice scattering effect for the smoke as it rises.
